I install my application in "project/apps/myapp" folder. Both apps and myapp folders have init.py files(Without any of them there is module missing error). Now I've the error:

Exception Type: RuntimeError at /
    Exception Value: Conflicting 'person' models in application 'resume': <class
 'apps.resume.models.Person'> and <class 'resume.models.Person'>.

Django import the same model with two different pathes. How can I fix it?

Full error log:

Instead of importing the all project then the app then the module inside the app just import the app which is inside the project then the module.

Instead of 

from webproject.app import model

Use

from app import model

or

from app.models import Staffs
